Simple Q, cat5e instead of cat6

When using for electrical wires in Darwin.... any problem using cat5e instead of cat6?

I expect it doesn't matter, but wanted to be certain before it is assembled.

Thanks.

Shouldn't matter. They're probably both 24AWG.

I ended up using:
- leftover speaker wire for the 12V power lines
- twisted pairs pulled from an old VGA cable for the serial lines
- the unused wires clipped from the stepper motors for the heater and gear motor
Seems to work OK.
